This Week with Dr.T & Sam White
03-07-22 Dr Sam Graduated from Cardiff University with a degree in medicine in 2004. He is a UK based GP focused on Functional Medicine. He is a member of The International Lyme & Associated Disease Society and The institute of Functional Medicine. Initially on a path toward becoming a surgeon, Dr Sam undertook rotations in Emergency Medicine, Trauma & Orthopaedics, ENT, Breast & Vascular surgery. As part of his training to become a GP, he subsequently went on to complete rotations in Paediatric & Neonatal medicine, Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Psychiatry before further 18 months as a GP registrar. After completing GP training in 2010, Dr Sam worked as a partner in primary care. He would regularly teach undergraduate medical students from Southampton University. At the weekends he helped run a Palliative Care Hospice in Hampshire, looking after terminally ill patients and he has since worked for a number of years in the local Emergency Department. Dr Sam is a clinical supervisor for newly qualified doctors. However, after a few years working as a GP he became weary of the ‘tick box’ approach to modern medicine and began to research other ways to solve his patients problems. This led him to discover the insight of Functional medicine and as he began to benefit from the results personally he sought to bring this holistic approach to his patients.
